Hardie Slim-Dial Controller Owner's Manual - Irrigation Direct

Note: Programs A and B - Each program is simply a set of instructions that direct which
valves to run for how long and on which days , If you need four start times or
extra long watering times, you will need to use both programs. However, in most
roses one program will be sufficient.
III. Dial Programming
Use dial programming to set all elements of your program without the help of guided
programming or to simply review and update existing program information.
To begin, set dial to GUIDED PROGRAM. Th‘IS will lead you through five easy steps.
Use the + and - buttons to increase or decrease times. Use the 4 button to enter your
selection and to advance to the next step. After setting the time and date, program A
(or B) will flash. You will be prompted to complete program A. If required, you may
continue with program B by pressing the A/B button. After the final programming step,
the controller will flash “OK”. You will then be prompted to set-up the other program, B
(or A), if desired. After all desired programming is done, set dial to RUN position to begin
automatic operation.
Hint: Plug in 9 volt alkaline battery to allow progromming at your kitchen table. Mount
the controller after programming by battery.
